Comprehensive DBT Additional Fees (Not Applicable for clients only in DBT Skills Group) 
Clients typically begin in Stage 1 of Treatment and reassess after six months. During the initial six months of treatment, there is a private pay flat fee of $250 for the Phone Coaching component of DBT, as this is not covered by insurance.
After the initial six months of treatment, the clinician and client review treatment progress and determine if Stage 1 Treatment is to be extended for another three months, with an additional flat fee of $100 to cover Phone Coaching during that time.
Reassessment of the stages of treatment will occur quarterly after that point. If the client has progressed to Stage 2 Treatment, Phone Coaching is no longer a required component.
